To Be a Power in the Shadows!

When I realized, Sid was in the dark.

I can't see anything staring, black that lasts everywhere.

Up and down, left and right, something emerged in the dark that even obscured me.

It was chain-bound, ugly left arm.

It looks much farther away, and the more I reach for it, the closer I feel.

Suddenly, the chain broke.

Fragments falling to pieces.

The freed left arm reaches out to grab Sid.

Sid set up a pitch-black knife, and...

The world was enveloped in light.

Sid stood in the woods in the early morning. That's the same place he walked into the door.

Look around, but those left arms are nowhere. With the dazzling morning sun in his eyes, he narrowed his eyes.

"Even if they pierce your heart, you're safe."

I was called from behind. Turning around, there stood a humble Aurora somewhere.

"I slapped my heart. But I'm a little tired..."

He sighed into the sky in the morning and leaned against the tree and sat down.

"You're a surprising human being. Much better than me."

Aurora sat beside him and tried to touch that chest wound.

There was no blood on Aurora's hands. Her hands passed without being able to touch him.

You disappear.

"Looks like it."

The two sat down and watched the beautiful morning sun.

"I'm the one who called you. Sorry I'm a liar."

"Fine."

"Besides, I lied."

"Fine."

I could hear the little bird chirping. Morning dew glowed and glowed.

"I always wanted to disappear sooner. I wanted to forget everything."

"Yeah."

"But there was only one memory I didn't want to forget. Even if I disappear, I just want to remember this memory."

And she smiled.

"Thank you for your important memory."

And disappear. The smile I was forced to make was sad.

"I had fun, too. Thanks."

"If you find the real me..."

Hands on Sid's cheek, she said. But he couldn't see her anymore.

There's nobody there, a quiet morning went on all the time.

"Kill me, or..."

He shrugged the words Aurora left behind and touched his cheek. I felt her warmth was still there.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Alpha and Epsilon looked down at Lindblum from the top of the mountain.

The Alpha dress is windy and reveals white legs.

The sanctuary has vanished.

"Right."

Alpha held his head down.

"What about the collection of the Holy Sword?

"The Holy Sword has evaporated"

Alpha sighed.

"What about the nuclear samples?

The nucleus has evaporated.

Alpha shook her head.

"The simplest and surest solution. Sounds like him."

"It's Shadow-like who can accomplish that."

Epsilon says proudly.

"His walking path is also our walking path"

Alpha's beautiful blonde hair reflects and shines in the morning sun. Looking away at the city of Lindblum, she narrowed her eyes.

"So, what about Beta?

"I'm guiding the princesses. I was wondering if I could dive in if it worked."

"Yes. What about the investigation of the sanctuary?

"All possible investigations have been completed at this stage"

"Tell me."

Alpha heard Epsilon speak.

Its clear brain instantly organizes information.

"That's enough. So, what about the example?

"The hypothesis seemed correct"

Epsilon gets a little lost, and answers the simplest.

"Aurora the Witch of Disaster… named after Diabolos the Demon"

Alpha stared at the distant morning sun with those blue eyes.

"Yes... so he..."

The pieces of the puzzle made a noise and got into it.
